OUR CUSTOMERS SAY: 



"You are to be complimented on the size and condition of each rhizome. These 

 icill add very much to my already large selection of Cooley Iris." 



MRS. FRED B. LEATHERS, Athens, Georgia 



"All were in top condition and are now planted. You have such fine stock and 

 are always very generous." 



PAUL E. FOLKERS, Owatonna, Minnesota 



"It is truly exciting to open a box of Cooley Iris, they are always so wonderful. 

 Thanks again for the very fine Iris I have received in past years." 



MRS. HARRY SHAVER, Herkimer, New York 



MAUVE MINK 



MAUVE MINK (Hall, 1961) Each $20.00 



You have seen this modern hue in some of the soft and 

 lustrous fur stoles and wraps created to keep apace with 

 today's fashion trends in color. This is pretty much a self — 

 a bewitching shade of rosy lilac and a hint of blue — paling 

 to an almost white area about the haft, in sharp contrast 

 to the red-orange beard. Note the opulence of the ruffled 

 standards and the breadth of the spreading falls. Flowers 

 are large in size, produced on stout 3 -foot, well branched 

 stalks. No. 56-14. 



LITTLE DOLLY (Hall, 1961) Each $15.00 



Out of the maze of pinks in the annual crop of new 

 seedlings this very bright and intensely colored medium 

 size flower stood out despite its short stature. Slender of 

 stem, reaching a height of about 20 inches, it is loaded with 

 flowers and lasts and lasts. This should find enthusiastic 

 acceptance in Median Iris circles. Color plate is a good 

 likeness but the beard is even more red than shown. No. 

 58-67. 



LITTLE DOLLY 



BENGALI (Kleinsorge, 1961) Each $20.00 



A large, bright old rose-red self with amber to copper 

 blendings about the haft and near the outer edges of the 

 falls. The extra large standards have heavy mid-ribs which 

 also carry this coppery suffusion plus a hint of green at 

 the base. Beard is bright bronze-yellow. Note the flaring 

 form and ruffling of the very broad falls. Luminous and 

 bright although deeper in tone than our picture 

 indicates. 3 feet. No. 469. 



"My order of Iris came in yesterday and I want to say they 

 are the finest entire lot I've ever received from anyone." 



LAURA JANE ARNETTE, San Antonio. Texas 



"In the six years I have been ordering from you I have 

 never seen such beautiful rhizomes." 



ELISABETH PETERS, Tucson, Arizona
